Medicine is a disease-oriented discipline as traditionally taught in medical schools. Geriatrics, however, calls for a more people-oriented stance. The elderly often have many special medical related problems that cannot be met by the physician alone. Working together, the physician, nurse practitioner, and occupational therapist can form an extremely effective team not only for treatment of the chronically ill elderly, but also for addressing the important area of prevention.
医学在医学院传统教学中是一门以疾病为导向的学科。然而，老年医学需要更以人为本的立场。老年人往往有许多与医疗相关的特殊问题，仅靠医生是无法解决的。医生、执业护士和职业治疗师共同协作，不仅可以为老年慢性病患者组成一支极其有效的治疗团队，还能在预防这一重要领域发挥作用。
